The Winter Session: November Finalists

No 1. Gordon Fontaine's edit perfectly catches the narrative of a great session. Thurso delivers the sculpted right hand freight trains for which it is so famous, and Fontaine gets tubed until twilight.

No 4. Alan Stokes during a single heat at the Scottish Open: "The overruling feeling when the waves are that good is that competition and the need to win all go out the window, and pure surfing stoke takes over."

Here they are, November's ten shortlisted Winter Session edits. From freezing Finland to giant Nazare, we have seen a range of entries that demonstrate the diversity, talent and dedication which pervades each and every surfable corner of Europe. Now comes the tough task of whittling down the top ten entries to just two.

We have selected a short-list of the top ten edits from the month, but need your help to select the two finalists. Every session has its merits, it's an almost impossible choice, they are all winners. But them's the rules and only two can progress to the grand final. These two November winners will receive a Nixon watch apiece, and more importantly a chance to face up to the other monthly winners and set sail on the Jiwa.

Winners will be chosen from an alchemy of votes, views, feedback, and pure oomph. Which two stand out for you? The winners will be announced on Thursday, December 5th.

The 10 are in order of appearance: No 1. Gordon Fontaine, No 2. Josh Hughes, No 3. Eric Rebiere, No 4. Alan Stokes, No 5. Angelo Bonomelli, No 6. Naum Ildefonse, No 7. Portugal's Nic von Rupp, No 8. Micah Lester, No 9. Russell Winter, No 10. Andrew Cotton. All shortlisted surfers will be eligible to join the final judging panel.
